Nature exacted for corn nothing but labour in times past ; she demands only labour at pre sent, and she will require only labour in future. Thus the sole element of the cost of growing corn here, and in other countries, is labour, and the real question to be decided is, whether it requires more labour to produce corn here or on the Continent. On this question, too, we are the more justified in confining our view to labour as the sole element of the price of growing corn, because the whole gist of competition betwixt us and other countries depends on the circumstance whether it require more labour to produce food here or there. Moreover, the question concerns the labourers chiefly, who are stinted in their food, and starved out of existence, on the pretext that their labour does not produce food enough to sustain them. We maintain, then, that the only element of cost which we are required to consider, is the quantity of labour necessary to produce corn here and in other countries, and we shall show in our next article, that the quantity required here is less than in other countries ; or, corn is grown at a less real cost here than in those lands of which the advocates of the Corn-laws most dread the competition. If this can be proved, it will follow that the labourers of this Empire are more unjustly treated, in being stinted and starved by the brutal Corn-laws, than any race of long-suffering and toiling men in any part of Europe.

The following case is reported under the head o Thames Police : Captain Edward Grayson, the master of the ship James Ray, appeared before Mr. BALLANTINI, to answer an infor mation, laid under the Merchant Seaman's Act, for having car ried out to sea one Thomas Culliban (not being an apprentice), as one of his crew, without having first entered into an agree ment in writing with him, specifying what wages he was to receive, in what capacity he was to serve, and to what place the ship was bound, as required by the Act, whereby he had for feited a penalty not exceeding 101. The Captain said, the fact was, he was short of apprentices, and just before the ship was being hauled out of dock, the boy Culliban, with his mother, came on board, and entreated him to take him on the voyage on trial, which he agreed to do without any stipulation as to wages, and, if the boy suited, he was to be articled on his return on certain understood terms, but he turned out to be a useless fellow, and he had refused an insolent application made by him for wages : hence he sup posed this vexatious proceeding. The boy, who stood at the bar, appeared to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, and anything but sprightly, gave evi dence of his going on board and performing the voyage. A Solicitor was heard in support of the information, who insisted on the law being enforced. Mr. BALLANFINE, having referred to the interpretation clause, the 52d, and also ascertained there was no appeal, said, " I regret that you have been brought here. I consider your conduct has been praiseworthy, but I am compelled by the words of this Act to fine you for having done an act of kind ness. However, it shall be the lowest the law allows me to inflict, that is 51., but I will not order costs. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock WITH WHICH THE di TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1238. We have nothing fresh to communicate about Canada, and shall only observe that the Chronicle, after considering the language used by Lord DURHAM, has abated somewhat of the sanguine hopes it yester day expressed, that the Noble Lord will be induced to remain in the government of Canada. In considering the elements of the cost of growing corn in this country, it is necessary to distinguish se veral kinds of price. First—there is the money price. Now, this is no criterion of the cost of growing corn, because the money price is determined by the quantity of money, paper, and gold, in circulation, which depends on the policy, the interest, or the tricks of the Bank of Eng land. But it is worthy of remark, that our standard being gold, which is generally about four per cent. higher than the silver standard in use amongst other nations, the price of corn, measured by money, ought to be about four per cent. lower here than in France or Germany. That it is higher is to be accounted for by other circumstances. But the money price of corn was also enhanced by the tithe system, as long as tithes were not commuted into a rent-charge, for the farmer was obliged to raise the price to the consumer of all the corn he grew, in order to enable him to give the tenth part of it to the priest, without depriving himself of the ordinary and average profits of capital. The money price of corn is also enhanced by the Corn-laws, which restrict the supply, and levy a large tax, for the benefit of the landlords, on every loaf of bread. The money price of corn, then, is the cost of growing it, increased by the cost of maintaining one of the most arrogant and least efficient bodies of priests that ever afflicted a Christian people, and enhanced by the cost of sustaining in fac titious and corrupting splendour a do-nothing, useless body of land-owners. When it is said that corn cannot be grown in this country, as has been said by witnesses before the Committees of the Houses of Parliament, and is continually said by the advocates of the Corn laws in the public press, at less than 60s. per quarter, let it be well understood that what they mean is not the cost of growing corn merely, but that cost, toge ther with the enormous cost of paying tithes to the priesthood, and rent to the aristocracy. Those persons who can be gulled by a statement of the present money price of corn into a belief that corn cannot be grown as cheaply here as on the Continent, are the proper com plement of the knaves who propound the statement One could not exist without the other. In fact, it amounts to this. The Corn-laws enhance the price of corn here far above its price in the other countries, and render it impossible for us to compete with them ; and, therefore, in order to continue the growth of corn we must keep up the Corn-laws. Next there is what may be called the social price— that is the cost of growing corn enhanced by restrictions and regulations. For example, the law of primogeniture, which prevents land from being divided into the most convenient portions for cultivation ; and the laws concerning conveyancing, which impede the sale and distribution of land ; and the taxes, on timber for example, which prevent the cultivator of land from obtaining his necessary build ings and instruments at as cheap a rate as possible. All such taxes, restrictions, and regulations enhance the cost of producing here the necessary supply of food ; and till it be demonstrated that every one of them—and we have only quoted one or two speci mens—cannot be done away, that they are all indispensable to our existence, they must be considered, like the Corn-laws themselves, as improperly enhancing the cost of growing corn. They are evils inflicted on us by the law-making aristocracy, and to allege the dearness of food caused by them as a reason for keeping up the Corn-laws, is just as absurd as to allege, for the same object, the dearness of food caused by the Corn -last s themselves. There is thirdly the real or natura l price, or cost of growing corn , t o arrive at which we must discard all the enhancem ent of price caused by juggling with the money, and by taxes, restrictions, and reg u _ lations. The real or natural price, however, is the only just criterion for deciding whether corn can or cannot be grown as cheaply here as in Poland. If we admit any other, we at once admit that one evil inflicted on us by the Legislature is the justification for inflicting another; and that the enhancement of price ca used by tithes and caused by the Corn-laws is a sufficient reason for con tinuing those laws. We cannot argue in that fashion, ascertain what is the natural cost of growing corn in Eng and not the money cost—before iparison between the cost here The Act under which the Magistrate was thus constrained to fine a ship-master five pounds for doing an act of kindness, and behaving in a praise worthy manner, was framed, we believe, by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, when he was First Lord of the Admiralty, and is generally considered a useful, well-drawn Act. Under it, however, the Magistrate is compelled to punish a man for virtuous conduct. Such a palpable violation of justice, and such a perversion of right, need no comment. Those, however, will be much mistaken who imagine that this is an exception to the general course of law. On the contrary, it is the rule. `What is legal is rarely or never what is just, and the law may in a great majority of cases be defined to be, as in this instance, an instrument by which cunning over reaches honesty, and villany secures its triumph over virtue. We learn from Wolverhampton, that the contest which has been carrying on in that town about Church rates, was decided yesterday against the rate, and -that Church-rates at Wolverhampton are abolished for ever. So be it through all England I and so it would be if the priest-ridden people saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears, and had sense and courage to act according to the dictates of the under standing which GOD has given them. We called attention on Thursday to the enormous extravagance of the City functionaries. It seems pro per now to remind our readers that one part of their ways and means is derived from a tax on the poor man's coals. We have on several occasions exposed the enormous evils of that tax, and of the mono poly of which it is in part the cause. Certainly the patience of the people, as they shiver over an insufficient fire in the next winter, will not be increased by learning that they are deprived of fuel, in order that the extravagant functionaries of the City of London may waste nearly half a million a-year. To what men may be reduced if they submit to one political oppression after another—now consent ing to be plundered to keep up the state of the land owners, and again humbly allowing planters and citi zens to tax their drink and to tax their fuel, is pretty evident by the wretched condition of the Irish pea sants, whose patience under almost unheard-of priva tions is, by their masters, praised as a virtue. " Bread," says the Report of the Railway Commissioners, speaking of the peasantry of the South of Ireland, "bread was never an article of common use amongst the labouring poor, but it is now less known by them than it was at the time when a sum exceeding 50,0001. per annum was paid in ' bounties,' to induce the landholders to grow a sufficiency of grain for the supply of the city of Dublin. Milk is be come almost a luxury to many of them, and the quality of their potatoe diet is generally much inferior to what it was at the commencement of the present century. A species of potatoe called the dumper' has been brought into general cultivation, on account of its great productiveness and the facility with which it can be raised from an inferior soil, and with a comparatively small portion of manure. This root, at its first introduction, was scarcely considered food good enough for swine ; it neither possesses the farinaceous qualities of the better varieties of the plant, nor is it as palatable as any other, being wet and tasteless, and, in point of substantial nutriment, little better, as an article of human food, than a Swedish turnip.' In many counties of Leinster, and throughout the provinces of Munster and Con naught, the lumper now constitutes the principal food of the labouring peasantry; a fact which is the more striking when we consider the great increase of produce, together with its manifest improvement in quality, which is annually raised in Ireland for exportation, and for consumption by the superior classes." To the same, or to a similar condition, will the peo ple of England be reduced, if they go on tolerating the gigantic system of plunder which is now organized by landowners, planters, and London citizens. The Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary thus describes the way in which the Carlist General disposed of his prisoners after the victory over PAR DINA S. That officer had only a choice of evils—death in the field of battle, or murder by the hands of ruf fians, and he wisely preferred the former :—" All the cavalry who were taken prisoners were massacred. The wounded were shot at Morella the first day, as well as the wounded infantry. The next day the remainder of the cavalry, amounting, I am informed, to between 80 and 90, were stripped naked, taken to a hzterta, or gar den, near Mailla, and being placed in rows, were rode at by CABRERA'S Lancers, and trampled and lanced to death." The heart sickens at the recital. of such atrocities, committed, too, by men calling them selves the friends of the Throne and the Church. Hu manity is dishonoured by the conduct of these mon sters, and Europe is indeed guilty of a great crime in permitting her name to be stained by such deeds of blood. We wonder not at Louis PHILIPPE, for his conduct in the Spanish question h as l ong ceased to excite wonder ; but it is astonishin g that men of kind feelings, like the Emperor of AUSTRIA, the King of PRUSSIA, and the King of HOLLAND, should be found the abettors of a man that has solemnly pro claimed his determination to murder his prisoners, and now daily permits his followers t• carry their bloody decrees into effect with the most refined discarded all consideration of !nt soils, and putting that out : element of the cost of growing to labour, says Dr. SMITII, "of THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1838. cruelty. The King of the FRENCH, from his blind devotion to the Holy Alliance, in place of checking the career of this infamous man, has just given an other proof that he favours his success, by permitting his betrothed wife, the sister of the hopeful Dor, MIGUEL, and his eldest son, with a retinue of fol lowers, to pass through the kingdom to the camp of the Pretender. His escape from this country through France, considering the strict discipline of the French police, was considered wonderful ; but the wonder almost ceases, when we reflect on this event, and the conduct of the French Government ever since the commence ment of the contest. It is evident, however, that affairs are approaching a crisis. The only remaining good officer that the QUEEN had to depend on will be forced to resign, and she will then have to choose be tween the dictation of ESPARTERO and his army, and the clamours, and possibly the insurrection, of the Liberal party in every part of Spain. We wish Lours PHILIPPE joy of the results. Madrid Papers of the 11th inst. have reached us, together with advices from Saragossa of a date two days later. Want of confidence in the wisdom and the stability of the Cabinet was then universally prevalent. General VAN ITALIEN has addressed proclamations to the people of Aragon, Valencia, and Murcia, on assuming the office of Captain- General of these Provinces ; but on looking over them we find that they differ in no respect from the imaginative rhapsodies of CoRDOVA, SAN MIGUEL, ORAA, and ESPARTERO. The in nocence of the QUEEN is much dwelt upon, just as if there were any peculiar merit in the absence of cri minality in the conduct of a babe. The Spanish political horizon was never much gloomier than it is at present. The Paris Journals of Thursday have all been re ceived ; and though their contents are not of much political importance, they possess considerable inte rest. There is no longer a doubt as to the appearance of the Princess of BEIRA, the eldest son of Don CARLOS, and their travelling attendants, in Spain, notwithstanding the boasted vigilance of the French Police. On Wednesday the King and Queen of the Bin- GIANS arrived at Paris from Brussels. Prince Louts NAPOLEON, accompanied by a suite of eight persons, left Nuremberg on the 14th inst. His route is prescribed, and instructions given that he make no unnecessary delay in any of the chits through which he is to pass. The Courrier de Bordeaux has the following sin gular article. We need not premise that letters direct from Constantinople assure us that there is not a syllable of truth in the statement, that our Ambassador has been assassinated. It is very pos sible, however, that such an announcement did appear in the Delhi Gazette : ,‘ We have received intelligence from India, entitled to some attention. The Delhi Gazette of the 27th June last publishes the annexed : " It is a fact of public notoriety that tile British Envoy in Persia has been murdered by orders of the Schah, and, as the Government does not think proper to deny it, we must consider it as being but too well-founded. It is also notorious (so far all those who have friends or correspondents in Persia affirm) that Mahomed Schah declared, when he undertook the siege of Herat, that it was a mere preliminary to his invasion of Cabul, Candahar, Punjaub, and India? The Schah is a vain, ignorant, and infatuated Monarch, beset by Russian intriguers, who urge him to invade the territory of our western allies, because they imagine that the extension of Persian domination to the banks of the Suttledge would insure to Russia the free passage of her troops as far as the advanced posts of the Indo- British army." The Delegates of the French Beet-root sugar growers are most indefatigable in their endeavours to support the views of their constituents. The follow ing report of their interviews with the Minister of Finance and the KING, on Wednesday, is taken from one of the Paris Journals of Thursday : The Delegates of the Beet-root Sugar Growers and Ma nufacturers had, yesterday morning, an audience of the Minis ter of Finance, at which they made a statement of the griev ances under which they laboured, and which they declared were not less in importance than those complained of by the colonial manufacturers. They represented to the Minister that the proposed reduction of duties in favour of the latter would be an act of injustice towards the home growers, be cause the tax imposed on the sugar thus produced was under stood to be good for two years at least, and that, upon the faith of this, they had planted their lands, and otherwise invested their capital. They declared that a change in the law as it at present stood in favour of the colonies would be the ruin of the home producers. To this the Minister re plied that, while he acknowledged the justice of their repre sentations, he could not forget that the condition of the co lonies required all the solicitude of Government, and that his desire was to conciliate both interests. The delegates then added, that the best method of relieving the colonial, with out too much depressing the home, interests, would be to facilitate the re-exportaton of sugar by lowering the amount of "rendement," which was now fixed at 75 per cent. The Minister assured the delegates that he would take their opinion into consideration, and that the measure indicated by them had in fact already occupied the attention of the Council. On quitting the hotel of the Minister, the dele gates went to the Tuileries, where they had the honour of being admitted to an audience of the King. They presented on this occasion a long address to his Majesty, in which they pointed out in strong but respectful terms that the manufac ture of beet -root sugar was reduced to the last degree of depres sion, and that the least aggravation of the disadvantages un der which they laboured would cause all the petty manufac tories to be closed, and would in the end destroy that manufac ture altogether. They protested against the injustice of Ling sacrificed to the colonial interests; they remon strated against the vexatious collection of the duties, and showed that the glut of the market was so great, that, the high prices of corn being also taken into consideration, as hindering small consumers from purchasing so much sugar as they otherwise would, there was no chance of things mending by a generally increased consumption throughout the country. They represented that more than 1,000,000 fr. were invested in nearly 600 beet-root sugar manufactories, and concluded by expressing their conviction that his Majesty would not allow them to be oppressed, nor would permit such a commercial re volution as it would infallibly produce o t ot o nhfa ta tth k eh e ep p t place. The King replied to the delegates in the most encouraging terms, that he was far from desirous of seeing the petty manufac tories closed • that, no doubt, the great dissemination of this branch of industry presented some difficulties for the col lection of the duties, but that the objection was not extremely serious ; that the mode of collection was a simple matter of execution, and would be brought to perfection in time ; that he by no means despaired of soon seeing every person in France make his own sugar, as in England people r up np m ty reynptt effects haferr parts; r sm;o o r w t thnhaetbet collectinghe sugarre , impossibilitywt productionhi e t h d o u ut t i e preventing s; brewedreoea establishinghra oepsppE appreciated prosperity ytseohdef exact returns the increase of consumption of which this branch of industry was the source, and by which all the other branches of trade benefited, was owing to the impracticability of proving the exact state of the French home-trade, where as th e move ments of re-exportation could be ascertained through the Custom-house; but that, nevertheless, such increase in the consumption was real and extremely important. His Majesty concluded by remarking his anxiety to favour the native sugar t produce by every expedient in his power, but, he added, that he must also take into consideration the interest of the acolo nies, which was, in reality, a French interest ; and, finally, that the duty, intentions, and wish of his Government, were to protect and satisfy both branches of industry. The King afterwards parted with the delegates in the most affable and cordial manner. The Moniteur of Wednesday publishes a despatch from Marshal VALLEE to the Minister of War, dated the Bth inst., giving an account of the occupation of the Gulf of Stora, from which we make an interesting extract : On the 7th of October the expedition corps commenced its movement, and cleared, without meeting obstacles, the dis tance between the camp of Arrouch and the ancient Russi cada. The Kabyles had abandoned their douars, but had not set them on fire—a circumstance which indicated that their intentions were not hostile, and that they had merely with drawn from motives of prudence. I forbade the men enter ing the villages, and the column quietly proceeded on its march. Some shots were fired upon it, without wounding anybody, and were not returned. At four o'clock in the after noon we arrived on the sea-coast, and took a position on the site, where, I intend establishing a permanent camp, which will secure to us the possession of the harbour, and will pro bably become hereafter the centre of a numerous and active population, as was formerly the town of Russicada, if we are to judge from the noble ruins which are yet to be seen on that point. The position which I occupy is excellent. The head quarters are established on the site of the ancient Roman cita del, the stones of which are yet in their places. They will be used in constructing a work to which I have given the name of Fort de France. This hill commands the landing-place, and the tricoloured flag which I have just placed upon the most elevated point of and must endeavour to 4 + . hisi.. -cessary c - %; ,--. ...it- . • ' 1 a "C?: 44 4or.Vikl-A• - -) ......„:•:y 4 om r,,- j r ,•; ,.. ` 0 %) . . ;, ' s . .. , •r. - -; v t i i. - Y ' t... &asa t: . !?:•• ere l - ither 48rn441: rele " The Zbv 'ltlx, _ l i es ‘4. •- - ► c • • .

" Vessels can in good weather anchor opposite the Fort de France, and at this moment the Sphinx is moored within two cables' length of the shore ; but the road is open to the north-wind, and when it blows hard vessels are obliged to take refuge in Store, where they can cast anchor close to the land. I shall, therefore. establish a redoubt to defend this latter anchorage. Under the Fort de France a landing place can be established at a trifling expense. Vessels can, without difficulty, discharge their cargoes at this point, whether they anchored like the Sphinx at a little distance, or whether forced to seek shelter by the bad weather at Stora. " The result of the operation I have just finished is im mense. The advantage of the new position occupied by the army will not escape your Excellency. " Constantine is not mere than three short days' march from the sea. The coaches arrive now in the camp of Arrouch, and in a few days will be able to come to Fort de France. The Kabyle population, by allowing us to establish ourselves in the midst of them, prove that our influence has increased since last year; they do not hesitate to put themselves in communication with us, and, like the camp of Arrouch, the Fort de France will be provisioned by the natives. The ex pedition of Stora clearly shows the advantages of the system which I have constantly followed. " The army, which during a year has shown so much fide lity, has merited well of the King and of France in this cir cumstance." The following extracts include what other news there is in these Papers of any general interest : The seventh Chamber of Correctional Police delivered judgment on Wednesday in the case of Messrs. Raban, Raison, Bruys, Dussoubs, and Dubose, accused of having had, on the 27th of July last, warlike arms in their possession, and manufacturing gunpowder without license. Raban was sen tenced to two years' imprisonment and 500 francs' fine ; Raison, Bruys, and Dussoubs, to 18 months' imprisonment and 300 francs' fine; and Dubose to one year's imprisonment and 100 francs' fine. CRACOW AND POLAND.—A letter from Lemberg, dated the 4th of October, says, " The unfortunate republic of Cracow advances rapidly towards its destruction. Nine of its most honourable citizens and magistrates have just been imprisoned upon the most absurd pretexts, or rather without any pretext at all. Their real crime is that of having refused to sign the petitions by which the Cracovians are made to appear to have themselves demanded their political annihilation, and as the prisoners, like the former ones, will be accused of plotting against Russia, it is much to be feared that exile to the mines of Siberia will be the reward of their patriotic resistance to the intrigues of tyranny. " In addition, systematic vexations are pushed to such a point that the Cracovian people are, as if in the hulks, separated from the rest of the world. All correspondence intercepted, every affair of commerce subjected to the formalities of the police, all passports refused, and the entrance of foreigners in terdicted—no more communication, no longer any press, either free or censured, placing three-fourths of the inhabitants under the surveillance of the police—this is the state in which these poor people are held, until a decree of confiscation shall in form all Europe of the manner in which the Three Protecting Powers have extended their protection. " The transportation of the Polish peasantry still continues in two or three of the frontier voivodies, and they are still directed towards the Don, where these unfortunates serve to re-people the countries which require inhabitants. Serfs from the interior of Russia begin to arrive to replace them in the country ; but, except on the property of the Crown, the ques tion of knowing to whom the above-mentioned substitutes will belong will occasion new iniquities. " Several noble cultivators have been amongst the trans ported peasants, and the Russian commanders have caused some of them to be scourged, who cried out against it. A woman of Janow was whipped for an act of that nature, and a priest in the same canton sent to the mines for a discourse to his parishioners. The Custom-house of Radzivilow has received employes of a new office ; these are agents of police established and paid by the Government, to control, as regards the police, everything which passes in this Custom-house, to suspend the envoys if necessary, and to give an account to the military au thorities."—Courrier Francais. PARIS, OCT. 18.—The audience which Reschid Pasha has had of the Pope, and his speech to his Holiness on that occa sion are the general subjects of conversation at Rome. This very short speech, delivered in the French language, has just been published by the Diario di Roma, as follows : " His Highness Sultan Mahmoud has heard with satisfaction the kind reception which your Highness gave to his Ambassa der to the Court of France. lam happy to have an opportu nity to express to you these sentiments of my August Master. I hope that these first relations, owing to the courtesy and conciliatory spirit of your Holiness, will lead to others equally advantageous and agreeable to the Holy See and the Otto man Empire." The Diario adds—" His Highness re. plied to this speech in the most gracious terms, and gave the Pacha to understand the just confidence which he placed in the Imperial justice with which Sultan Mahmoud protects (garantisee) the Catholics residing in his vast empire, and with the punctuality with which the intentions of his Highness are seconded by the Reis Effendi. His Holiness requested Reschid Pacha always to protect the Catholics in the councils of his master, begging him again to recommend them in his , name. " The Pacha was very sensible of the reception with which he was honoured by his Holiness, and promised to fulfil his wishes. Cardinal Mezzofanti was sent for by his Holiness, to be present as interpreter at this audience. " The conference which Reschid Pacha afterwards had with Cardinal Lambruscheni, Secretary of State, turned nearly on the same subjects, and was likewise mutually satisfactory. Reschid Pacha is distinguished by his amiable and unaffected manners, as well as by his enlightened and refined understanding. In the Visit which lie paid to Cardinal Mezzofanti he showed great erudition in oriental literature, which was the subject of conversation. His three sons, who are still of tender age, have likewise been presented to the Pope and to the Cardinal Secretary of State. Their excellent education, and their vivacity, render them very interesting." The Moniteur of the 18th has no official part. A letter from Limburg, in Galicia, of Sept. 24, says that a Company of rich inhabitants at Brody has proposed to the Austrian and Russian Governments to construct, at its own expense, an iron railroad from Brody and Limburg to Vienna, aiirs! from Brody by way of Berdytscheff to Odessa, on con dition that the Company shall have the two 'roads for one hundred years, after which they shall belong to the two States. It appears that the Company has already some idea that the Au s t r i an G overnment w ill acce d e to t h e proposa l, for its engineers are already examining the line from Brody to Vienna, and its agents have conferred with several landowners in Galicia about the purchase of the land through which the road would pass. The Emperor of Russia, it is said, has less hesitation about authorising the construction of an iron railroad between Brody and Odessa, as he much desires to see railroads become numerous in his empire, and as the Company does not ask for any pecuniary aid. It is affirmed that the houses of Roths child and Sins, of Vienna, and the wealthy Hungarian Count Czetching, intend to take shares, if the plan should be realised, as we may hope, for it will enrich our province, and affurd Germany a new means of communication with Odessa, and consequently with the East.—Le Commerce.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. A very long letter has been received this morning at the North and South American Coffee-house, from Buenos Ayres, of the 24th of July. The following is the substance : " The blockade of the port by the French, which com menced on the 28th of March last, yet continues without any great probability of its being soon raised, and although the only revenue of the country (Custom-house) is cut off, the Government still prefers to suffer rather than yield to demands which they conceive to be unjust. Surely sacrifices like those must proceed from principle, and if so it claims respect. " I feel confident that, were a French Minister to come here in a spirit of good-will, the present dispute would be amicably arranged. You may obtain anything from these people by kindness. In this respect they have something of the John Bull in their composition. As it is, the Government of Buenos Ayres are backed in their resistance to the French demands (endeavoured to be extorted by the knife at the throat) by a great portion of the population ; and there are many respectable foreigners who candidly avow that the blockade, as it now stands, can scarcely be justified. Admiral Le Blanc, in his order of the day, threatens them with the fate of Algiers. The French may bombard and take the city, but they are too wise to think of attempting to colonize this country."

Verdict—" Not Guilty."—Leamington Spa Chronicle. Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a respectable young man, named Richard Hill, living in North street, Tottenham-court-road, japanner, committed suicide by hanging himself in his father's stables, in North-street Mews. He was discovered by his father, suspended by a rope to a beam, quite dead. No cause can be assigned for the rash act He was a young man of sober and steady habits. A gentleman of rather original habits, the Baron de R--, who for several years has had the mania of travelling on foot in search of the picturesque, like our old friend, Dr. Syntax, is still perambulating France. If he finds any fine prospect impeded by a clump of trees or even by a wood, he immediately enters into an arrangement with the owner of the land, hires workmen, and, without regard to expense, has it all cleared away to open out the view, which when ren dered complete he enjoys for a few days, perhaps, a n d t h en departs, never perhaps to see it again. Once, it is said, he wished to burn down a farm-house and buildings which spoiled a beautiful prospect, but could not prevail on the owner to indulge him in this freak of fancy.— Galignani's Mtssever.
